Mobile Phone Reviews

Despite its popularity amongst consumers, the Nokia X6 has never been a strong performer in mobile phone reviews. Although there is no one single fault with the X6, which is the bigger brother of Nokia’s X3 model, there are enough niggling faults with it to paint it in a bad light.

One of the Nokia X6′s strongest points is its music playback, as the ‘Comes With Music’ function allows easy downloading of tunes and a universal speaker output means that any headphones can be used with it. The camera is also of a high quality, with 5-megapixels and a flash option along with the Carl Zeiss lens which Nokia installs on its latest mobile phones. The built in 32 GB of memory also mean that a lot of pictures and songs are needed before space becomes an issue.

However, one place where the phone falls down is functionality. At times, the chassis of the phone feels cheaply made and scrappy, while the small screen means that messages have to be typed horizontally in order to use the QWERTY keyboard.

The home page layout is also cumbersome, with static icons which are far too big for the screen’s size. Even running the programmes can be problematic at times, as the X6 does suffer from a lack of processor power.

The Nokia X6 also doesn’t stand up financially when compared to other contract mobile phones, as the deals on offer tend to be expensive and offer poor value for money.
